512MB physical memory was a VMS limitation at one time with the VAX 8800 being the first machine to actually have the capability to support that much real memory.  IIRC the 780 was limited to 8 hex-height memory boards.  


I recall many support calls for the 8800 suspected of "hanging" due to the time it took to test 512MB which was the default boot sequence.  Turning off the memory test during the boot "solved" the hanging problem...
